Martin Barrett By Frank Collins As most members will already be aware, long standing RPS Secretary Martin Barrett died very unexpectedly on 12th October 2015 from complications following routine surgery. Martin was well known to many of us, both within the RPS, where he was a member for over 30 years, and in the Railway Industry, as a career railwayman for over 40 years. We will all have many and different memories of Martin; but the level of regard in which he was held by so many was witnessed by the large number of friends and former colleagues who attended the event held by the family in York on 17th November in celebration of Martin’s life. I was privileged to be asked by the family to give the tribute on behalf of the RPS;- It is with great sadness that we are gathered here today but it is my privilege to say a few words on behalf of the Railway Performance Society in recognition of the friendship and hard work that has marked Martin's association with the RPS. It is strange how fate brings people together. In the same way that Martin was one of a generation of railway men who had the good fortune to be able to be paid to do for a living something that they loved; the RPS brought together many railway men to pursue their love of railways away from the day to day professional role, in associations that go back very many years. Testimony to those associations is the number of people here today from the railway world – professionals, RPS members, and those who are from both. John Heaton – now President of the RPS - first encountered Martin in 1967 on a steam- hauled train hurtling towards London at over 100mph, before John joined the railway. Martin and John then worked in adjacent offices here in this building in 1971, before working closely together within the RPS. Noel Proudlock – another long standing RPS member - also worked here and clearly remembers Martin as one of the bright young men who appeared in York following the merger of the Eastern and North Eastern Regions in 1968. The same qualities that Martin displayed in his private life were brought to his career as he worked his way up the ladder to head of permanent train planning. Again, Noel remembers Martin as someone who would always find a way of doing what others deemed too difficult. My own association with Martin goes back around 30 years to when he joined the RPS – working closely with him for most of that time on the Committee, and on the working parties that the RPS put out for a number of years in the 1990s on the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales Martin once explained to me that his interest in railways started when he was aged about 10 when he first saw copies of Trains Illustrated magazine, and was regularly walking over the footbridge crossing Ilford car sheds on his way to school swimming lessons. I gather he didn’t like swimming. He started timing trains when he was 16, as he put it, by trial and error. His professional interest in train planning meant that he took an interest in all aspects of train planning and performance, however apparently dull, for he had a great sense of recording history for posterity when timing trains. For that we have to thank the wealth of historical data Milepost 36¾ -274- January 2016 that Martin has added to the RPS Archive collection over so many years. But without doubt the highlight of 50 years of train timing for Martin was his following the final week of steam working from Waterloo, back in 1967 Martin performed his RPS honorary roles with diligence, meticulous detail and a keen sense of 'running to time' with whatever task he undertook. In one respect Martin was like many of his railway colleagues in that he was paid for doing work he enjoyed doing, the proof of which probably lies in the articles and analysis he undertook writing reports for investigations the RPS frequently undertakes. On that note I too must be conscious of maintaining the schedule for today’s events. Our memory of Martin within the RPS will be one of a consummate railway professional, a thoroughly honourable man with a quiet but teasing sense of humour but who, above all, was good company. What became clear in the course of the tributes was that there were very much two parts to Martin; the railway side, and the family side, and the two rarely crossed over - save, it seems, when it came to travelling. Martin had become a very proud granddad a few years ago and was even more excited when eldest grandson Casper started to shown all the signs of having his granddad’s ‘train bug’. As Martin’s daughter Claire so wonderfully put it, having spent a lifetime playing with a train set the size of a country, as a granddad he got a lot of pleasure playing with Casper’s toy train set. There were many RPS members present on 17th November. Northbound from Kings Cross that morning resembled a mini RPS Mass Timing Day, so as a tribute to Martin, it seems very fitting to append the runs on the 10.00, 10.30 and 11.00 departures from Kings Cross; respectively a non-stop HST, a semi-fast class 91, and a non-stop class 91. Richard Howlett’s HST seems to have had the least good fortune of the morning.

No matter what ever your results are I hope that you all enjoy this season’s volleyball. Last season saw the European Volleyball Federation (CEV) impose on us that all NVL Clubs follow the correct procedures for International Transfer of players. This effectively means that annually any player competing in the NVL whose Federation of Origin is not England would need to follow this procedure and pay the appropriate fee. We were successful in negotiating a phased implementation of this with it only applying to Super 8 teams last season. However this season Division 1 Clubs must also now follow this new procedure.
